Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

My apologies to my subscribers if you've been seeing a lot of deleted work from me in your updates. For some reason I've been unable to upload ecards or fanart for the last several days. I just get an error message, and then my picture/card comes up blank. Is anyone else having this problem? It's horribly annoying >.<

Yet another of my wonderful friends dedicated me a birthday present. Here's the lovely card that chibi-anna-chan made for me!

Ah, I love it ^-^ Owls are my favorite animal, if that wasn't already a given. I think I need to draw one one of these days.

By the way, my birthday was fantastic this year. My husband's birthday is on the same day, which is always fun. We went back "home" to stay with my Dad for the weekend, and we went to see Tangled, which was so good! I definitely recommend that one. We also had a party with my family, and a party with my husband's family the weekend before. We've been doing a lot of travleing now that everyone lives in different places ^^; I really miss it when we all lived within 10 minutes of each other. Anyway, among my gifts were The Legend of Zelda:Spirit Tracks and a new camera, so I've been having lots of fun with those.

Another thing I haven't mentioned is all the snow we have at the moment. Last week a terrible snowstorm hit us, leaving at least three feet of the white stuff on the ground. It took me two hours to dig out my car! Oh, I have to post the picture now:

There you have it.

Thank you readers for stopping by! And thank you again chibi-anna-chan for the wonderful card! ^-^

Hello, friends! After a long spell of no updates I figured I should say something for a change ^^ There’s a lot to talk about! My husband and I moved into an apartment about a month and a half ago so we could be closer to his job, and we’ve had a fun time settling in here and exploring the area. We kinda live right in the middle of a shopping center, so there are lots of places to go, but it gets pretty crowded on weekends. It’s also been a little tough suddenly being over an hour away from family, but we’re close enough to visit fairly often anyway. And while I love the apartment complex, the “no pets” rule is a serious downside. My Dad is taking care of my bird for me, but I would love to have him here and get a cat or two. Someday, someday.

Oh yes, and I’m an aunt! I forgot I hadn’t said anything about that yet either! My little nephew Landon was born about 5 months ago now. He is such a cutie! But you don’t have to take my word for it -

I feel really bad for not posting any artwork in such a long time! Especially since I now have a tablet and Photoshop CS5 at my disposal ^_^ I’m pretty much devoting all of my drawing time to an illustration project right now for a guy who’s in the process of writing a book. No way to tell yet if it will get published or not, but I sure hope so! Anyway, since the pictures are for his book, I wouldn’t feel right posting them online, so they must be kept hidden for now. One of these days I’ll have to find some time to draw some good ol’ anime fanart ^_^

Guess I’ll keep this shorter rather than longer. Thanks so much for stopping by! I will try to post more artwork soon!
